Products / Wall covering / Fringe Surfaces

Fringe Surface wordThe Fringe Surface is an experimental application that stems from our material research into working raw clay. The Fringe collection was created from a visual fascination with cutting clay with a wire: a technique that developed from a playful gesture to an independent design method, in which both functional and sculptural qualities are explored.

Although this application has not yet been concretely realized, the Fringe Surface is ideally suited for use as wall coverings, especially in the form of exterior facade tiles. The layered, ragged texture emphasizes the natural identity of clay, emphasizing imperfection, craft, and the tension between control and chance.

In addition to its aesthetic value, its rough structure also offers potential ecological benefits. The small cavities and irregularities can contribute to the attachment of moss and algae, while providing microhabitats for insects. This allows the Fringe Surface to play not only a visual, but also an ecologically enriching role in architectural applications.
